What it does

Place Wiki is an agent skill from pricklywiggles/niamos. Decide where in wiki/ to place a new or existing Wiki page, picking a topical subfolder rather than dumping it at the root. Use this skill whenever the user creates a Wiki note, asks where a topic should live, wants to relocate an existing Wiki page, or says anything like "place wiki", "organize wiki", "where should this wiki go", "move this wiki page", "find a home for X", "this should probably live somewhere else". Also invoked automatically by the create-page skill for Wiki type. Reads existing wiki/…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/placement-heuristics.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Obsidian productivity system and second brain.

When your agent uses it

  • The user creates a Wiki note
  • Asks where a topic should live
  • Wants to relocate an existing Wiki page
  • Says anything like place wiki

Example prompts

  • “place wiki”
  • “organize wiki”
  • “where should this wiki go”
  • “/place-wiki”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine input mode
  2. Survey existing wiki structure
  3. Propose candidate homes
  4. Present the choice
  5. Execute the placement
  6. Open the file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af657ba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Place Wiki loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 179 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~179
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 623 words (~1,359 tokens).

“The vault CLAUDE.md at the repo root describes the Wiki type and the folder layout. This skill executes the pick-a-home-for-a-Wiki-note workflow.”
